The reported speech is in direct speech and is an interrogative sentence. While changing it to indirect speech, the reporting verb 'said' is changed into 'asked'. Connector 'if' or 'whether' is used in place of commas. The sentence is changed from interrogative to assertive, so the tense of reported speech is changed accordingly, i.e. 'can' changes into 'could'. Moreover, the second person 'you' will change into 'he'.
Thus, the resultant sentence in indirect speech is: He asked the hotel receptionist if he could tell him the tariff of rooms. Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.
